Someone posted an ebuild here earlier that uses the exact same patches, but
is much better written than mine.  You might want to check into it instead.

I use sendmail cause it's what I have always used.  The one and only thing
that I never got around to figuring out with sendmail is how to do the
domain catchall address, fex if an email comes in for unknown user
joeblow@××××××××.com drop it in a specific folder or mailbox.  It has to do
with how alias recursion is handled by sendmail, just never got around to
figuring it out.  

My setup also does not use pam, it uses mysql directly.  At some point it
just gets ridiculous setting up layers upon layers of crap just to get
authenticated (cyrus -> sasl -> pam -> mysql).  I just removed an extra
layer ;)

Heh heh, the bottom line is that I managed to get it set up and working with
virtual domains, spam/virus checking, and mysql authentication.  Once I got
it working I was just damn happy it finally was and never further deviated
from it ;)  If someone else can get it working better, I would love to know
how.  So if you do get it working, please share your results with us here.
